The 3D catalogue: film cases on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalogue in 3D

The film shelves have a room of their own that you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real films from the same catalogue when you tell them what you feel like watching. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this film is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens

Shorts in Motion: The Art of Seduction is a Canadian anthology of 10 original two-minute mobile shorts for video cell phones, by directors, artists and personalities including Ann Marie Fleming, Mark McKinney, Guy Maddin, Isabella Rossellini, Theodore Ushev and Denis Villeneuve. The series was presented by Bravo!FACT and co-produced by marblemedia and the National Film Board of Canada (NFB). It was one of the NFB's first ventures into mobile media. Rossellini was the only non-Canadian director. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
